EMEA editor Neil Ramsden brings you a roundup of the main stories from the previous week  

The biggest story from last week was, by some distance, the news that the US National Marine Fisheries Service had closed the pollock trawl fishery in the central Gulf of Alaska after two fishing vessels caught an "unprecedented" amount of Chinook (or king) salmon as bycatch. 

The closure will leave just over 50,000 metric tons in the water, an NMFS spokesperson told Undercurrent News.

Also last week, Undercurrent reported live from the annual meeting of the Genuine Alaska Pollock Producers, held in Seattle, Washington. You can catch up with all the coverage of that event here.
